Grav Blazer

Low effort trash from a shovelware "company"... shocking. Included are low effort main and pause menus, cutoff UI, a static background image, and a single looping song. The controls are poor; changing direction will cause you to lose all momentum. The gameplay itself is highly repetitive. You go sector to sector destroying a specific number of space stations. It's the same enemies every time... gets old after just a few minutes.

Grav Blazer is a fast-paced indie space shooter that focuses squarely on moment-to-moment action, reflexes, and score-driven mastery rather than narrative ambition or complex progression systems. Developed and published by Ripknot Systems, the game embraces an old-school arcade philosophy, placing players in control of a lone spacecraft tasked with clearing hostile sectors filled with enemy bases and relentless waves of attackers. From the outset, the design makes it clear that survival depends on constant movement, situational awareness, and the ability to process multiple threats simultaneously in confined, high-pressure arenas.

Procedural generation ensures that enemy placements and en…

Despite the beautiful descriptions about "skill based firing mechanics" and "rotary controlled power attacks", in fact everything feels quite primitive and quickly gets boring. The procedural generation of levels is very weak — after an hour everything starts to repeat itself, and the destruction of bases turns into a boring routine. The difficulty increases mainly due to the number of enemies, and not due to the interesting gameplay. As a result, you get a monotonous arcade shooter that also doesn't work well on Linux

nice. I felt the game, and i liked it. I did. This is a prime example of "Edick", and his nature, and its "amazing". The start menu is trash though, change it asap or delete the game. 5 minutes was enough to feel it all, and its not bad i must say. Not

A mediocre space shoot'em'up type game. The background is static and borders of the map arent made clear. Some abilities are a lot stronger than others, very halfbaked and too expensive! Im on a quest of at least trying every game in my library, of which I got plenty from all kinds of bundles. If you are interested in my journey, check out my other reviews :)
